Mayim Bialik’s Amy Farrah Fowler might’ve charmedThe Big Bang Theoryfans with her quirky personality, but let’s be real—her character had some seriously questionable moments, especially when it came to Penny. Sure, their friendship was fun to watch, but Amy’s borderline obsessive behavior and harsh jabs towards our blonde girl often flew under the radar. Somehow, Bialik pulled it off, and many fans seemed to shrug it off.
But looking back, Amy’s treatment of Penny was pretty despicable at times, and it’s something mostTBBTfans tend to forget. So, how did Amy get away with it? Let’s dive into those uncomfortable moments and why they didn’t make as big of a splash as they should have.
Amy’s Dark Side: The Overlooked Creepy Moments Fans Forgot
Mayim Bialik’s Amy Farrah Fowler might’ve charmedThe Big Bang Theoryfans with her quirky, awkward behavior, but not everyone remembers the darker side of her character. Throughout the show, Amy crossed several lines, particularly in her treatment of Penny—lines that most fans glossed over. As one Reddit user pointed out,“her creepiness is blatantly ignored,”and that seems to hold true even for some of Amy’s most questionable moments.
Take, for example, the time Amy practically guilted Penny into having kids. In the final season, Penny decided she didn’t want children, but Amy, along with the rest of the group, pressured her to reconsider. By the end of the season, Penny is pregnant—her wishes swept under the rug. Amy’s tendency to guilt-trip extended beyond this, even going so far as to sabotage Bernadette’s wedding and overshadow her big moments.
Oh, and remember when Sheldon’s barber was hospitalized, and he freaked out because no one else had his haircut records? Classic Sheldon, though. Penny offered to cut his hair, but he wasn’t feeling it, so he asked Amy for her take. Her response?“There isn’t a hair on my body that I won’t let this woman cut.”Yeah, that was both creepy and obsessive.
And then there’s Amy’s strange obsession with Sheldon, including a particularly disturbing moment when sherubbed and lickedhis belongings to “spread her scent.” It’s undeniably creepy, and yet fans have given her a pass. Honestly, if the roles were reversed and Amy was a man, the outrage would’ve been far louder.

While Amy had her redeeming moments, especially in her relationship with Sheldon, her selfishness often overshadowed her character’s growth. Whether it was belittling Howard over a parking spot or making passive-aggressive remarks about Leonard, Amy’s behavior towards her friends was far from friendly at times. Penny, for her part, seemed to let a lot slide—likely because she understood Amy’s social awkwardness.
In the end, Amy may have grown, but some of her more despicable moments remain, well, largely forgotten.
